Dying to defend
Despondent
What drives a man to dying to defend
a government that never listened to a single word he said.
And when there isn't any threat - does he question their intent?
Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness,
An accessory to the crown.
Taught not to question independence is a threat.
And there's no room for hesitation when the orders have been sent.
He wears an emblem on his chest, does he know what it represents?
He's just a victim, and you're a witness,
An accessory to the crown.
And do the spin doctors expect us to really just accept
all the lies that they invent?
Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness,
An accessory to the crown.
Well my defiance is so easy to condemn,
my point of view so cynical so simple to forget.
And when these men are lying dead
will you spare a thought for them, oh do you really fuckin care?
